10:40 am. Dr.
Kelley will be administering course evaluations. I appreciate your objective feedback on the
course re. things you appreciated and ways to
improve. Realize that these evaluations
are completely anonymous; all written comments are retyped, so that I do not
see the handwriting. I also will not see
these until late June, so they cannot positively or negatively affect your
grade. I especially appreciate
constructive written comments, as the bubble sheet questions provide just
numbers but no specifics.
